Hello, Americano!
So here we are in West Yellowstone, Montana. I believe. Yellowstone National Park is mostly in Wyoming, but I don't know where it switches, hence the blog title.
We got here last night at about 8:30pm. We ended up leaving Calgary on Tuesday morning instead of Monday night like we planned. It turns out Leslie and I were a wee little bit disorganized and couldn't fit everything in the truck. I blame Rexy. Anyway, we left at about 8:30 am yesterday. I apologize Dad for not updating last night, I knew you would be checking to see if we made it here, but I couldn't get the Internet up and running, they gave me an invalid password.
The drive went well. Rexy was actually the best I have ever seen her in the truck. I made her a big bed out of all of our pillows and blankets and she just slept the entire way. Well, except at the boarder. There is an interesting story. Since I have the bike rack on the back, the 3 guards opened all the doors without warning and Rexy doesn't know what to do. Usually she tries to jump out, but the two guards on the side were jumping in! She was so confused. Then she tried to jump out of my diver window over my back while Leslie's is helping search her purse and the glove box! The main guy I was talking to liked here though, he was giving her treats and petting her like crazy, no questions asked!
We did manage to go out of our way a tiny ways to make it to the first University of the trip, Montana State, home of the Bobcats in Bozeman, Montana. For most of you that don't know, I'm a little obsessed about college sports in the US. It is just amazing to see how much a 'team' can really depict the culture of an area. It's just like the movies, they live following these teams. I always make a point to go out of my way to see the schools, the stadiums, and the souvenirs!
The plan for today when we ever get out of here is Ol' Faithful, stroll downtown West Yellowstone, go for a bike, and an Imax movie tonight! I'll try and get some pictures up later!
Until then...
Grizz!

Rexy sounds like she deserves a lot of extra treats for being such a great doggie! :) :)
Have fun on your road trip adventure! :)
